Full Description

Gideon always has a plan. His plans include running for class president, becoming head of the yearbook committee, and having his choice of colleges. They do NOT include falling head over heels for his best friend and next door neighbor, Kyle. It’s a distraction. It’s pointless, as Kyle is already dating the gorgeous and popular head cheerleader, Ruby. And Gideon doesn’t know what to do...

Kyle finally feels like he has a handle on life. He has a wonderful girlfriend, a best friend willing to debate the finer points of Lord of the Rings, and social acceptance as captain of the basketball team. Then, both Ruby and Gideon start acting really weird, just as his spot on the team is threatened, and Kyle can’t quite figure out what he did wrong…

Excerpt

“What is wrong with me?” Again finding myself talking out loud to no one.

I rub my eyes and turn my head to the left. There on the window of the coach’s office is a posed photo of this year’s basketball team.

Kyle stands in the center of the back row. He’s the only guy smiling. All the other ones have on these stoic, tough guy jock faces. I can’t help but smile back. I think about brushing his hair back off his forehead, which is not something I would ever do in real life but I think about doing it all the time. Kyle pays better attention when his hair isn’t in his way.

The Gideon in my head does something completely unexpected then. He runs his hand down Kyle’s cheek and moves it around to the back of his neck, before pulling him closer and pressing their lips together.

The Gideon sitting in the locker room suddenly can’t breathe.

Latest Update

Until I started writing my latest book, I didn’t think I
remembered anything about my prom.
Which isn’t all that weird, considering it was
(gulp) eighteen years ago. I started going through pictures and texting my high
school friends random questions. No one
remembered what the prom song was, but we all remembered what we wore. Though I ...read more

Something I’ve learned over the course of writing this blog post is that it’s not easy to write about writing fast. I apologize in advance if this whole post is nonsense to anyone that doesn’t live in my brain.But I did my best to break down my process because it’s NaNoWriMo, that beautiful time of ...read more

For
the record, there is nothing “old hat” about announcing a book.
It
feels different every time, with a kaleidoscope of emotions that change book to
book.
But
with this, the announcement of my fourth book, The (Best) Worst Case Scenario, I
realize that there are some things that are always the same. One of those
things is the actual ...read more

I have a secret
talent.
Well, I suppose
it’s not really a talent.
And it’s not
really a secret seeing as how I used to do it on a public blog.
Anyway.
I like to write
book reviews in Haiku form. I realize Haikus are traditionally about nature and
the world around you, but it’s the pithiness ...read more

About three years ago I finally started and finished writing
the first draft of my first “real” book. Before that my writing career had been
multiple failed attempts at NaNoWriMo, a boatload of first pages that I loved
but didn’t know what to do with, and oodles of fanfiction. When I say “oodles,”
I mean OODLES. (Note to self ...read more
